Right, understood. What is interesting is that the constants themselves were not available. If you turn on IPv6, it detects multicast now, but all of the multicast group constant args aren't exposed, while the multicast API actually was before. > True, the minimum Windows platform will probably need to be bumped up > soon - but since there are still a lot of Win2k systems in production we > should probably be explicit about when that happens. You know I was very cautious about considering this change, but believe it is otherwise harmless for IPv4 builds, in particular. I have an NT 4SP6 box I can validate this against, of course.
